Eagle Cutting Tool 1080-108-D Hss Drill Bit 1-1/8 in

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL 1080-108-D is a high speed steel (HSS) screw machine length drill bit with a 1-1/8 inch diameter and a 1/2 inch reduced shank. Screw machine length bits are shorter than jobber length, providing greater rigidity and reduced deflection in tight work envelopes or drill press applications. This bit is manufactured in the USA and suited for trade professionals drilling through ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials on the job site or in the shop.

This drill bit is a practical choice for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical contractors who need reliable metal drilling performance in confined spaces. The reduced 1/2 inch shank allows the bit to seat in standard 1/2 inch chucks even at the 1-1/8 inch cutting diameter, making it compatible with common drill presses and heavy-duty hand drills. Typical applications include drilling conduit knockouts, pipe clearance holes, and structural steel work where a short, stiff bit outperforms a longer jobber-length alternative.

Key Features

• 1-1/8 inch cutting diameter for large-diameter hole work in metal and plastic
• 1/2 inch reduced shank fits standard 1/2 inch drill chucks
• Screw machine length body provides added rigidity and reduced bit deflection
• High speed steel construction maintains hardness under heat generated during cutting
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as a standard screw machine length drill bit compatible with any drill press or hand drill equipped with a 1/2 inch or larger chuck capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with drilling operations. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dullness is observed.
